The Ball State Cardinals dropped a close one to the Northern Illinois Huskies yesterday, falling 24-16. But what did we take away from the game?
1. The Huskie defense doesn’t need Sutton Smith to win (but he sure helps!)
This was the first game in a long time that Sutton Smith didn’t get a sack or TFL. In fact, he didn’t even manage to record a tackle against the Cardinals!! He was able to pressure Riley Neal on two plays but, all game long, it was the other ten Huskie defenders had to get stops.
